Winning dolphin makes Super Bowl pick

Many of you are consulting sports books, touts and friends to help you with your Super Bowl picks.

Meet Nicholas, a rescued bottlenose dolphin who lives at the Clearwater Marine Aquarium. He was rescued after being stranded, years ago.

Nicholas was presented with two footballs – one with the logo of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and one with the Kansas City Chiefs. He selected the winning team by touching the ball featuring the Chief’s logo with his nose.

He chose Kansas City.

Big deal, you say.

He’s correctly picked two Super Bowl winners since 2017, the aquarium says.

Now what do you say?

It’s not fishy because dolphins are mammals. Would he be biased if the Miami Dolphins ever get to the Bowl again? Maybe not, because Tampa Bay is right next to Clearwater, where Nicholas lives.

Here’s more about Nicholas, the prognosticator.
